I Sell the Dead (2008)

Grave robber Arthur is in jail awaiting his execution and tells Father Duffy the story of how he got into the profession. Arthur was trained by Willie, who has just been led to the gallows. The story is told in flashbacks starting when Arthur was a little kid and going through the adventures he had while working with Willie and going up against other grave robbers, most notably the dangerous Murphy gang. The film also features a small role by Angus Scrimm.

The movie isn't a laugh out loud comedy, but there are some amusing moments. Overall an interesting watch, although I did start to drift near the end.
